Punters Go Barmy Backing Wayne’s Barnet!

William Hill have slashed the price of Wayne Rooney gelling up his barnet a la Ronaldo for Christmas from an original 2/1 to 3/1 second favourite. Of the outsiders the Beardsley Pudding bowl at 33/1 and the 50/1 Fellaini Perm have been popular but the Jedward is friendless at 100/1.

“Rooney has a great opportunity to ingratiate himself with fans and show us all that he has a sense of humor. We can see him supporting a number of comedy haircuts over the season but the Jedward is perhaps a joke too far and has failed to attract a single bet!,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

What Will Wayne Rooney’s Hair Style During Boxing Day Fixture 2011: 1/1 Buzz Cut ‘Beckham’, 3/1 Gelled up like ‘Ronaldo’, 5/1 Dyed Hair ‘Cisse’, 5/1 Parting ‘Parker’, 6/1 Alice Band ‘Torres’, 10/1 Bald ‘Kojak’, 25/1 Pont Tail ‘David Seaman, 25/1 Mullet ‘Glen Hoddle’, 25/1 Red Stripe ‘Pietersen’, 33/1 Pudding Bowl ‘Beardsley’, 50/1 Perm ‘Fellaini, 66/1 Mohican ‘B A Baracus’, 100/1 a Jedward

100/1 England To Win Both Euro 2012/world Cup 2014.

Ancelotti 16/1 to be next England boss,but:
ENGLAND WORLD CUP ODDS ON THE DRIFT

WILLIAM HILL have lengthened England’s 2014 World Cup odds from 12/1 to 16/1 following their disappointing display against Switzerland. They have also lengthened France from 20/1 to 28/1 following the announcement of the seedings for the forthcoming World Cup draw, and shortened favourites Brazil from 7/2 to 5/2, with second favourites Spain out to 5/1 from 9/2.
‘We have decided that on current form, under the current manager England do not warrant being any shorter than 16/1 and that as we have no idea who the boss will be when 2014 gets underway we should be looking to lay them now’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WITH CARLO ANCELOTTI taking a year out but reportedly saying he wants to remain in management in England, Hill’s have introduced him into the ‘Next England manager’ market at 16/1. ‘If it is decided to opt for another foreign boss Ancelotti would surely be a contender – after all, he speaks better English than Capello’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILL’S 2014 WORLD CUP…5/2 Brazil; 5/1 Spain; 6/1 Argentina; 11/1 Germany; 12/1 Holland; 16/1 England; 20/1 Italy; 25/1 Portugal; 28/1 France; 33/1 Chile; 50/1 Uruguay; 50/1 Ivory Coast; 50/1 Serbia; 66/1 Russia; Paraguay; Croatia; Mexico; 80/1 USA; Ghana; Sweden.

WILLIAM HILL have made England 9/4 to win their final three Euro qualifying games – and offer 5/6 that man of the match Ashley Young will start the next Euro qualifier and 10/1 that he will be the leading England scorer in qualifying games. ‘In Rooney’s absence, the likes of Bent and Young had a chance to present the case for becoming automatic choices, but the jury is out on how convincing they were, although Young certainly made an early impact when he scored’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Wl Corks Be Popping For Shearer ?

WILL SHEARER BE POPPING CORKS TO CELEBRATE CARDIFF JOB?

A GAMBLE which began in Cork has catapulted Alan Shearer into the position of second favourite to become the next Cardiff manager with bookmakers William Hill who have slashed his odds from 10/1 to 6/4.
‘We began to see bets for Shearer on Monday night and soon noticed that almost all of them – and they were for up to 200 euros a time- were coming from the Cork area. We reduced the odds but the bets continued to come in and eventually we began to see money from other areas. The gamble has continued on Tuesday morning and we wouldn’t be surprised to see Shearer become favourite over Malky Mackay very shortly’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
